Dark Horse to Publish Comic Edition of Only the End of the World Again

Following up on Forbidden Brides, Troll Bridge, and How to Talk to Girls at Parties, Dark Horse is publishing another adaptation of a Neil Gaiman short story with P. Craig Russell and Troy Nixey. This new deluxe hardcover edition of Neil Gaiman’s Lovecraftian tale Only the End of the World Again from Dark Horse reprints the original published by fellow Portland publisher Oni Press in Oni Double Feature #6–8 during 1998.

The story blends the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft and Roger Zelazny and follows a claims adjuster who sets up shop in Innsmouth, Massachusetts only to discover that the world may be ending and that the instrument of destruction is a werewolf . . . whom he also happens to be.

Based on a short story written by Neil Gaiman (American Gods, Sandman), the new edition is adapted to comics by P. Craig Russell (American Gods: Shadows, The Graveyard Book), illustrated by Troy Nixey (The Black Sinister, Jenny Finn), and colored for the collection by Matthew Hollingsworth (Wytches, Tokyo Ghost). P. Craig Russell is also adapting Neil Gaiman’s American Gods as a comic series from Dark Horse.

This new hardcover edition features a brand new cover by Troy Nixey and Matthew Hollingsworth with bonus material including high resolution scans of the inks and layouts. This is the latest offering from the expanding Neil Gaiman Library at Dark Horse.
